I don't care much about story even though I welcome a better one. The world in this game is spectacular. The golden birds are also great, they always take you to some significant place and it's a mechanic that I've never seen before. Plus you have the quests that are added to the map and I've never seen that before either. It's much more fun than having the usual quest page with a huge list of quests that you have to select to find the destination. The map is always full of destinations to find out and that's incredibly fun. This game also has the merchants that turn golden on the map when you have enough resources to buy something from them. I've never seen this before. It's great. Loading times are insane. You can die without fear of being punished by 30s of loading. Fast travel is truly fast. It's almost instantaneous. The combat is always fun no matter the flaws you find and I got used to the camera really quickly. |
I have an SSD in my PS4 Pro. I don't even have time to read the loading screen tips. It's like 0.5 seconds just to fast travel. :D

Or is it just another twist on the rather generic AAA open world formula? I have a feeling combat is pretty ok going off reviews and previews, but I'm sort of worried about the stealth and open world part. |
Stealth is pretty bad. See my other posts in this thread for more on that. Exploration, and discovery is top tier. Between the Golden Birds, Rising Columns of Smoke from burning villages, Seagulls circling Shrines, and Steam issuing from Hot Springs it's really easy to find your way around in the game. You don't even need a hud, so if you like immersiveness, this is a fantastic open world game. The horse comes to you quickly with just a simple call, and doesn't get lost or stuck on geometry like in Witcher 3.
